McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.5.0.i uses insecure permissions for certain Windows Registry keys, which allows local users to bypass local password protection via the UIP value in (1) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\McAfee\DesktopProtection or (2) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\TVD\VirusScan Entreprise\CurrentVersion. NOTE: this issue has been disputed by third-party researchers, stating that the default permissions for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE does not allow for write access and the product does not modify the inherited permissions. There might be an interaction error with another product

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the SiteManager.SiteMgr.1 ActiveX control (SiteManager.dll) in the ePO management console in McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) before 3.6.1 Patch 1 and ProtectionPilot (PRP) before 1.5.0 HotFix allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long argument to the (1) ExportSiteList and (2) VerifyPackageCatalog functions, and (3) unspecified vectors involving a swprintf function call.

VShieldCheck in McAfee VirusScan for Mac (Virex) before 7.7 patch 1 allow local users to change permissions of arbitrary files via a symlink attack on /Library/Application Support/Virex/VShieldExclude.txt, as demonstrated by symlinking to the root crontab file to execute arbitrary commands.

McAfee VirusScan for Mac (Virex) before 7.7 patch 1 has weak permissions (0666) for /Library/Application Support/Virex/VShieldExclude.txt, which allows local users to reconfigure Virex to skip scanning of arbitrary files.
